Study notes

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

  • Structure: 訳す (やくす) is a transitive verb for transferring content into another language. 訳した is completed past; 訳すのは topicalizes the action from dictionary form.
  • Basic usage: 日本語から韓国語に訳した states source and target languages; 自然な表現に訳す specifies the form of the translated result.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Source and target language versus form of the result
    • The content takes , the target language or expression takes , and the source language takes から. Do not confuse the verb 訳す with the noun meaning reason.
